THE HADDOCK MURDER.


In0 IIIel OF ArenhOOrI NJ SIOUX Cltys
On Friday the testimony was nearly all
preliminary and not OF great Importance,
being simply accounts OF the shooting with
which the public is familiar.
On Saturday, the most important witness
was an old man named Van Ingham, who
now states, with considerable earnestness
that the man he saw pass his window on the
run after the shot was fired and proceed
ing from the scene OF the murder, was j Ohm
Arensdorf. This created flutter OF excite
ment among the packed audience, but the
testimony was not unexpected by the de-
fendant. The crosa-examination was un-
usually vigorous, and a contradictory line
of evidence produced and clearly admitted
between his former statements at the
coroner's inquest and the testimony be-
fore the grand jury Van Ingham is sixty
years OF age.
Van Ingham's age and feebleness made
him poor witness, and the severe cross
examination to which he was subjected
very much destroyed the value OF his evil
dence. Witnesses followed who cor
roborated Van Ingham as to
the two men going across the
bridge, but the testimony OF Mrs. Eber.
hart, wife OF the proprietor of the Columbia
house. in front of whose place the murder
was committed, does not agree with the
story OF Van Ingham as to the murder or
speed. She did not see them, but thinks
from the sound that there must have been
three men crossing the bridge, and they
were walking instead OF running.
Juryman Webster received permission
from counsel and court, and asked Van In
CHAM W here the men were when he saw them.
'rhey were in the west end OF the bridge, "
replied the witness. Here the juryman
became intensely partisan in his actions and
words, and with much feeling and emphasis
asked questions and added constructions
to the witness testimony that raised the
excitement in the court room to sensa-
ton. Either Webster was seeking to be.
fuddle the witness on the question on iden-
tity so far as related to Arensdorf, or was
covering up his intention by purposely
leaning his words in the direction OF the
defense.

Ashland,s Big Real Estate Boom.

An Ashland (Wis.) special OF the 25th
says: The real estate boom continues.
Nearly dozen new real estate men have
opened up offices. Lots that sold two
weeks ago for 500 are now selling from
$500 to 81, 900 each. Ashland never be-
fore experienced such a boom. Since the
first OF the week every train that arrived
in the city brought d number OF real estate
dealers. and over five hundred strangers
and outside people are in the town seeking
to make investments. The hotels are tax
ed far beyond their capacity. Private
houses are keeping as many as they can.
AS high as IS has been paid for bed. All
of the availa BILE acre property was at first
soon picked up. Later the demand was
for business blocks and good residence
property, and many lots near the business
center here. changed hands several times,
always at an advanced price.

The Government and Wall Street.

The New York Mail and Express says:
"Isadore Wormser, Of the banking firm of
l. & s. Wormser, went to Washington and
called upon Acting Secretary Fairchild,
with whom a conference was had. The
banker plainly told the secretary that while
we might tide over the summer mon tbs
without serious trouble, the contraction OF
national bank notes growing out of
tho calling OF the per cents and
the failure of congress- to pass certain ap-
preparation bills, and to adopt other nee
essary measures to release the surplus in
the treasury would undoubtedly lead to a
crisis in the fall unless the department
should come to the relief OF the market,
failing in which, a special session Of con-
yress would have to be called. Mr.. Fair
child answered that he possessed ample
authority to relieve any money pressure
that may arise and that he would use his
powers in case OF stringency. He had au-
thority under an act OF congress to buy 4
and Az per cents at the market price, and
would SO buy them in case OF stringency
which he believed would induce holders to
sell. This policy, it is understood, in case
of need would follow the calling in the last
of the 3 per cents outstanding. The secre-
tary demonstrated by figures that on
March l. Notwithstanding the contraction
of bank note circulation, we had 81 5, ,OOO,-
900 more currency than on Jan. l, 1886,
and also over SIS, 600, 900 more gold. All
these utterances coming from SO high
source are OF prime impo rtance just now
as forehadowing the policy OF the govern
ment on the money question"

The New South.

When we come to the New Indus
trial South the change is marvellous,
and 50 vast and various that Iscarce-
y know where to begin in short
paper that cannot go much into de-
tails. Instead of South devoted to
agriculture and politics, we find
South wide-awake to business, excited
and even astonished at the develop
ment of its own immense resources in
metals, marbles, coal timber, fertil-
izers, eagerly laying lines OF communi,
cation, rapidly opening mines, build
ing furnaces, foundries and all
sorts of shops for utilizing the
native riches. It. is like the
discovery of new world. When the
Northerner finds great founderies in
Virginia using only with slight excep-
tions) the products of Virginia iron
and coal mines; when he finds Alaba-
ma and Tennessee making iron so
good and so cheap that it finds ready
market in Pennsylvania, and foun-
deries multiplying near the great fur
naces for supplying Northern markets;
when he finds cotton mills running to
tufl capacity on grades of cheap cot
tons universally in demand through
out the South and Southwest; wht N
ne finds small industries, such as pa
per-box factories, and wooden bucket
and tub factories, sending all they
can into the North and wide
y over the West; when he
sees the loads of beautiful marbles
shipped North; when he learns that
some OF the largest and most import
mt engines and mill machinery were
made IN Southern shops; when he finds
IN Richmond ''pole locomotive"
made TO run on logs laid end to end,
and drag Out from Michigan forests
and Southern swamps lumber hither-
10 Inaccessible; when he sees worn out
highlands in Georgia and Carolina
bear more cotton than ever before bv
help of fertilizer the base of which is
the cotton seed itself worth more as
fertilizer than it was before the oil
VAS extracted from it;) when he sees q
mW!situde OF small shops giving en-
ployment to men. women and chill
dren who never had any work of
that aort to do before; and
when he sees Roanoke iron cast in
kichMond into car irons, and return

The New York and New England Rail-
road-he begins to open his eyes. The
South fs manufacturing a great variety
o. things needed in the house on the
larm, and in the shops, for consump-
tion, and already sends to the North
and West several manufactured pro-
ducts. With iron, coal, timber con-
tigous and easily obtained, the
amount sent out is certain to increase
as the labor becomes more skillful.
The most striking industrial develop
ment to-day is iron, coal, lumber. and
marbles; the more encouraging for the

railroad, said
| look forward to the time when rail-
road consolidation in Massachusetts

York, New Haven & Hartford and many
other Massachusetts roads all consolidat.
ed, and when 40, 900 miles OF railroad will
be managed under one head. We never
have any difficulty in controlling large
roads. 1t was the little ones we are always
bothered with. Look at our large roads.
There is no one so poor who scat at liberty
shoot a fling at big roads. See what they
are saying every day about the Union Pa
ciiic. Whenever abuse springs up let the
commissioners arraign us before the bar OF
public opinion. and do not fear the result.
All that has been said about
railroads ruling the legislature is folly.
/ assure you that while you have juries,
legislatures and public opinion, the rail-
roads will yield to their force.

Prohibition Meeting.

BELroS, S. c., Feb. %, 1887.
Mr.. EplToR: The call by the Honea
Path Division Sons of Temperance for q
prohibition Mass Meeting, at Anderson c.
H., on March 18th, we think most timely
suggestion. And, as stated in your cdito-
rial last week, we trust will be literally
attended by representative men from all
sections of the County. At this meeting,
by earnest cooperation, the line of duty
and procedure can be planned, and an ad-
dress issued to the people of the County,
calling upon all to join in this prohibition
movement, which, if victorious, will do
more towards the publication of society
and the elevation of morals, than any
other thing of which there is any concep-
tion. Of course, no minister of Christ
thinks otherwise than giving his unre-
served influence to this cause. Indeed,
for a preacher to withhold his influence,
would be to proclaim himself an unworthy
follower of the cause he represents. No
one doubts this, when the liquor traffic is
the pronounced and undoubted evil of the
day.
There will, however, be some who will
oppose this movement as they have the
new Road Law. Let US do our utmostin
modest, yet earnest manner, to convince
such opposition of their error.
Finally, let no one fight this as others
have the Road Law, induced by no other
than deep-seated prejudice.
